Kobe competitive spirit has cost him his finger

Kobe’s competitive nature with basketball has been at the cost of a finger. Reports say he might never play again without wearing support for his damaged right index finger. The middle knuckle on that critical finger on Bryant’s shooting hand is so debilitated by arthritis after the past season of misuse and overuse that there may be no real way to fix it. This is one reason why Kobe shooting has been off during the last couple of weeks in the regular season. But through all of this no other player in the league has played so great with a injury like him. I guess that’s what makes him a real superstar.
